Siem Reap

Here are some pictures of our weekend trip to Siem Reap, with some great videos of me celebrating my favorite wat (temple).

Please note the sign above the toilet. They're not even trying to be funny, this is a real issue that plagues toilets all over Cambodia.



View from Angkor Wat (the famous one, it's on their flag)


cool picture of Phia
He was missing a few parts, so I gave him a hand... and a head.

I'm being a face, looking at that face. There were a lot of faces at this temple. Everywhere.

and chavs and this:


That's the biggest city north of London.


Well! I was in for quite a surprise! Skipping through all the annoying details of traveling and throwing down $500 on excess baggage (mind you, just about all of it was gifts for family, so I hope they enjoy them!) and trying to save Bangkok, Thailand, while it didn't want to be saved, I FINALLY got to Leeds. To this:

Luke is super romantic, and really into very cute things (some of which is unfortunately lost on me), so I was surprised but not astonished by his adorableness. This guy makes romcoms look like DieHard. I wasn't fully prepared for what came next, which was this:


Where's Waldo? Little box, edge of the table......

My weekend (pt.1)

I think this is pretty much the moment you've all been waiting for since you heard I was heading to Cambodia! Just  for being good sports, I gave you a little bonus, too...
